The Qualité français langue étrangère certification was created by decree in 2007 with a view to identify, recognise and promote French foreign language centres whose language teaching and services presented assurances of quality.

The label “Qualité FLE” is a result of a quality approach initiated by the Ministry of National Education, Higher Education and Research, the Ministry for Culture and Communication and the Ministry for Foreign Affairs and International Development, the certification aims to identify, recognise and promote French foreign language centres whose language teaching and services present assurances of quality.
